Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. JOANB

Answer: an inside job

The word "an" between the letters "jo" and "b" gives "an inside job", which means a criminal act carried out by someone holding an official position in the organisation targeted, such as a bank robbery carried out by an employee of the bank.

2. REVO DNEB

Answer: bend over backwards

The words "bend" and "over" are written in reverse, representing the phrase "bend over backwards" or "backward". It means to do everything one can, as in "The teacher would bend over backwards to help his pupils pass their exams".

3. HAUL THECOALS

Answer: haul over the coals

The word "haul" is written above, or over, "the coals", giving the phrase "haul over the coals". This means to give someone a good telling-off, as in "my teacher hauled me over the coals when I forgot to do my homework".

4. EYE RIGHT EYE

Answer: right between the eyes

The word "right" is written between two instances of the word "eye", giving the phrase "right between the eyes". As well as its literal meaning of on target, this can mean to realise the truth of something, as in "it hit me right between the eyes that my brother had stolen my cheese sandwich".

5. TWBREAKO

Answer: break in two

The word "break" in the middle of the word "two" gives the phrase "break in two", meaning to split something into two pieces.

6. THECOLLAR HOT

Answer: hot under the collar

The word "hot" is written underneath the words "the collar", giving the phrase "hot under the collar", meaning to be annoyed about something. An example might be "My girl-friend got a bit hot under the collar when I forgot her birthday".

7. SEX THEBEACH

Answer: sex on the beach

The word "sex" is written on top of the words "the beach", giving the name of the popular cocktail known as "sex on the beach". This is made of vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry and orange juice, usually served over ice with fruit garnish. Enjoy!

8. ALL THEPLACE

Answer: all over the place

The word "all" written above "the place" gives the phrase "all over the place", meaning in a muddle.

9. ANGKOOLER

Answer: look back in anger

The word "look" is written backwards ("kool") insider the letters of the word "anger", representing the name of the 1956 play "Look Back In Anger" by John Osborne.

10. ROAD ROAD ROAD ROAD ROAD ROAD ROME

Answer: all roads lead to rome

Repeated instances of the word "road" followed by the word "Rome" I hope leads you to think of the phrase "all roads lead to Rome". This means that whichever different way you go about a task, the result will be the same.
